While in French and English you have to say the pronounce.  Same thing,
really.  In English you change it at front "I speak" "You speak" "He
speaks" "We speak" "Y'all speak" "They speak" whereas in Spanish you
change the end "Hablo" "Hablas" "Habla" "Hablamos" ("Habláis")
"Hablan".  In French, you change the front in speech, and both the front
and the back in writing!  "Je parle" "Tu parles" "Il parlet" "Nous
parlons" "Vous parlez" "Ils parlent" (Forgive me if I got the forms
wrong)
